Twinnies.



Oh she's got her mojo back! Just when we thought Florence Welch had gone all mainstream and Daisy Lowe on us, she busts out this gorgeous vintage find that makes us want to run through the streets of NYC gaily too!

With Chanel, Gucci and Saint Laurent having all called her their 'muse', basing collections around her ethereal, bohemian, 1970's take on 2013 festival glamour; the singer has been seen of late with her usual quirk becoming slightly diluted with denim cut-offs and green tees. And then here she comes! Hailing a cab through Manhattan with Miu Miu platforms, a python-skinned clutch, retro round sunglasses and her auburn locks hanging loosely on her porcelain shoulders. She looks happy, beautiful and totally in awe of her effortlessness in pulling this,very personal, style off- many try but only one succeed.

But now you can get a bit of Welch in your own wardrobe, with this stunning chiffon number that is only a breathtaking- £20. A little shorter than Flo's means it is more adaptable to wear causally in the day and then grabbing for those tights, chunky boots and shaggy furs come winter. Don't say we never treat you!

Bill Cunningham, The one and only...

He was around long before the digital age, bloggers and twitter feeds. You could say Bill Cunningham is the original trend spotter, the first street style photographer. He is. However I find the term 'street style' too casual a title for a man whose dedicated his whole life to documenting style, chronicling trends and capturing so honestly a history of fashion. He published his first group of street photographs in The NY Times in December 1978, soon after it became a regular series. He still works at the New York Times, 81 years of age out on the streets on Manhattan everyday. Check out his video column 'Style on the Street' here

So we were just about to watch the September Issue for the 10th time when it was suggested we watch Bill Cunningham: New York, a documentary film about the life of this amazing man. I won't go on, no need to give you my synopsis, just watch it. 
I dare you not to fall in love with him.
